Arbitration is now the best form of dispute resolution in commercial matters internationally. Arbitration faced a lot of hostility from courts, from decades. Arbitration is now internationally recognised in many continents, due to the role played by England, in enforcing the arbitration clause. It’s important to understand how the modern arbitration in England developed from hostility to harmony, in solving commercial disputes or contractual obligations of international commerce. This article fills in the developments of modern arbitration in England and Wales. This article will focus developments of arbitral provisional measures, and also provide if there is a need for reform, in arbitration. This article provides an understanding of some of the trends concerning those measures and assist in shaping such trends; mainly the Arbitration Act of 1889, 1950, 1979 and 1996.
